This weekend, I was stir crazy. More than usual. A lot. My Hub's life was in danger.
When life gets you down and you feel like there is nothing "winning" about your situation, the universe tends to throw you a bone. It's probably going to be small, like getting stuck in your throat small, but it is worth celebrating anyway. .
The Hub and I found a high end baby store that is closing for business. This is amazing news since this is the one store in a 100 mile radius that offers products from Arms Reach - specifically a co sleeper.
Now, before you get all crazy and assume that I will be letting my child sleep in my bed until he is 8, let me set you straight. . . the co sleeper is a bassinet that can either stand alone or stand flush against my bed's mattress - allowing me easy access to nurse in the middle of the night without bumbling around a dark room. Our plan is to use the bassinet in either of its functions for a few months before moving our child to his own crib in his own room. Better? (As if my kid would sleep in my bed. . we all know that with my thrashing, he would be crushed in hours!)
For the cost of one of the cheaper co sleepers, the Hub and I managed to procure a higher end model, two sheets, a mattress protector, an additional organic mattress, two blankets (for car seat cover) and a toddler booster seat. Seriously. "We done good."
In fact, I think the Hub is stopping back through to see if there is still a crib / toddler bed mattress left - as when we researched it at home, it is top of the line and at a really great price.
Yes. I am gloating just to gloat. With all of the shit I have been through with this pregnancy, I feel like I can get away with it. You can deal. =)
